Some stories never really leave us.
In this video I'm creating mixed media art journal pages inspired by childhood stories that shaped my imagination growing up. From magical worlds and whimsical characters to nostalgic colours and dreamy details, these pages were inspired by childhood books that still spark creativity years later.
Using my markers, paints and pastels, and layered mixed media techniques I wanted to capture that cozy storybook feeling inside my journal pages.
Whether you love art journaling, mixed media or whimsical illustration or simply miss the magic of childhood books, i hope this video inspired you to create something playful and nostalgic too.
